Victims of catastrophic injuries deserve justice, & Duckworth Injury Law is committed to holding negligent parties accountable BY obtaining justice for Missouri families
Catastrophic injury accidents, like other personal injury accidents, are especially tragic due to the avoidable nature of these accidents. Avoiding phone or substance use while driving, placing proper precautionary signage in unsafe environments, properly restraining animals, and generally being mindful of the safety of those around us can often prevent these tragic accidents in Missouri. Unfortunately, people still text and drive, shopping centers don’t always put out “wet floor” signs, and irresponsible pet owners often fail to secure their dogs. That is where Duckworth Injury Law comes in – We are Missouri’s Injury Law Firm.
Our firm's work handling catastrophic injury claims is inspired by our passion for helping families and making Missouri a safer place for all. By holding negligent individuals or entities accountable, attorney EC Duckworth stands up for those who are seriously injured in preventable accidents and helps to reduce the frequency of such accidents moving forward. Currently, Missouri’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including catastrophic injury claims, is five years. As such, it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to preserve your ability to pursue a catastrophic injury claim and to also allow your attorney to gather and preserve evidence relating to your catastrophic injury claim.

Catastrophic injuries cause lasting damage, often requiring costly lifelong care. Missouri families deserve skilled legal support from a catastrophic injury attorney to seek justice & compensation
An injury is considered ‘catastrophic’ when it causes long-term or permanent damage to a person’s body or brain. For example, traumatic brain injuries, often resulting from serious car accidents or slip-and-fall incidents, can leave victims cognitively impaired and unable to care for themselves. This places a significant burden on their loved ones and may necessitate professional medical care for the rest of the victim’s life. Similarly, individuals who suffer paralysis in catastrophic accidents often require lifelong assistance and adaptations to navigate daily life. The cost of such care is substantial, compounded by the immediate hospital bills incurred from emergency treatment.
No family in Missouri should face financial devastation due to the negligent acts or omissions of another. Instead, Missouri families deserve the support of a skilled attorney who understands catastrophic injury law and who will fight to recover full and fair compensation for their damages. Turn to Duckworth Injury Law — Missouri’s trusted advocate for victims of catastrophic accidents.

Duckworth Injury Law is dedicated to helping victims in mid-Missouri obtain full compensation in their car accident cases
Victims of life-altering catastrophic injuries will typically require long-term or even lifelong care. Oftentimes, seriously injured parties require care such as physical, occupational, and mental therapy; specialized medical equipment, home renovations to accommodate wheelchairs or other mobility devices; and more. Catastrophic injuries often prevent victims from being able to work, compounding the financial burden on themselves and their families. If you find yourself drowning in medical bills due to the cost of care and a loss of income, you likely need a catastrophic injury attorney to help seek full compensation for you or your loved one’s accident.
A personal injury attorney like EC Duckworth may be able to win both economic and non-economic damages for you and your family. Medical costs, necessary medical equipment, and lost wages are all considered to be calculable economic damages – the obvious monetary loss someone experiences after an accident. Mental and emotional damages, like pain and suffering or loss of enjoyment of life, fall under non-economic damages. While non-economic damages are not based on a calculated number, they are usually determined by the severity of your injuries and how your injuries affect your day-to-day life.
At Duckworth Injury Law, our firm analyzes all evidence relating to your claim, including video footage, photos, witness statements, medical reports, and bills in pursuing your compensation claim. In catastrophic injury claims, we often consult with and hire expert medical doctors to evaluate our clients’ injuries and to determine what future care they will require moving forward. Our research is thorough, and our drive to help Missouri families is boundless. Consult with our catastrophic injury attorney today to see if your claim may result in compensation for you or your loved one’s suffering.
